Since its June 2023 launch, exaBase Generative AI has been used by 650 companies and over 60,000 users (as of the end of September 2024) and has expanded to educational institutions such as Kyoto University, Kobe University, and Fukushima University.
The educational sector faces challenges such as a decline in teacher candidates*, increased workload, and personnel shortages. Universities also require enhanced productivity due to the demand for various skills and the balance between research and education. Consequently, more educational institutions are utilizing generative AI to reduce their daily workload. For example, exaBase Generative AI has helped teachers save an average of 10 hours per month by generating lesson plans and materials, and an average of 6 hours per month by assisting with grading assignments and reports. We are launching exaBase Generative AI for Academy to alleviate faculty workload, improve class quality, and increase student satisfaction.
Exa Enterprise AI will continue to develop generative AI services by leveraging field knowledge.
